Series Banknote Validator (DBV-400) Integration Guide
This section provides troubleshooting instructions
for the DBV-400 Banknote Validator Units, includ-
ing the following information:
• Introduction
• Troubleshooting Overview
• Fault Table Listings
• LED Indication Conditions
Introduction
Most Banknote Validator failures result from minor
causes. Before replacing any parts, be sure that all
assembly and circuit board connectors are properly
fitted, with their harnesses properly connected.
Poor performance by the DBV-400 Banknote Vali-
dator is often caused when dust or foreign objects
adhere to the sensors or transport belt. Clean the
Banknote insertion section first, then carefully
observe the operating state of the Validator when
re-initializing power. This observation is important
in locating any causes of failure and the possible
fault location.
Perform all repairs by referring to Calibration and
Testing in Section 6 of the DBV-400 Service Man-
ual, and the Disassembly/Reassembly instructions
in Section 4 of the DBV-400 Service Manual.
Troubleshooting Overview
This product allows the operator to perform fault
diagnosis by checking various Fault Table Listings
against the symptoms. Survey the cause(s) of any
failure occurrences during the process.
After determining the cause of the failure, execute
the Performance Test, and then repair the unit
replacing any appropriate parts necessary.
Fault Table Listings
Table 19 lists the various possible DBV-400 Unit
